Frustrating HitTest

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica][SIZE=2]For some reason I cannot get my hitTest to work on an mc within an mc within an mc…which is assigned to a variable…


var miniWin:MovieClip = CAD_mc_mini.zoomControl.miniWin;

trace(miniWin); //returns _level0.CAD_mc_mini.zoomControl.miniWin

var mouseListener: Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function()
{
    if(miniWin.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true))
    {
        miniWinOver = true;
    }
    else
    {
        miniWinOver = false;
    }
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

always returns false…what gives?[/SIZE][/FONT]
